"A network's security problems, of course, are not only due to its users. There are all the folks outside
who are trying to break in...The people who disabled the Web sites of the F.B.I., the Departments of Energy
and the Interior, the Senate and the White House last May were crackers. And when, soon after, the Pentagon
took its Web site off the air to shore up, it feared being cracked, not hacked."
-New York Times Magazine, The Mole in the Machine
-By CHARLES C. MANN
Security for systems that house your critical data should not be taken lightly. Connectivity to the internet
exposes you to many potential benefits that a quickly growing market can give. It also exposes you to many
potential pitfalls, if you haven't
fully planned ahead. Calyx Internet Access prides itself as a security specialist, helping you to plan ahead,
so you don't get caught with your pants down.
Our security professionals have done consulting for Fortune 500 companies, national banks, as well as US and
Dutch government agencies. All have benefited from our experience by closing holes and vulnerabilities that
may lead to possible intrusion.
The consulting services we provide can help to allay your fears. To initially assess the possible weaknesses in your
network security, Calyx offers a "Network Security Penetration Test". We come in, scan your network for known
vulnerabilities, and present a report with recommendations on how to make your network more secure. We can
help in your decision making, making sure to make the right choices for your specific needs.
Custom configurations make for tighter security in all situations. Your needs are not identical to the next
person's, so why should your configurations be generic? Offering a multitude of options including exhaustive
penetration tests, in depth looks at parts or all your network design and custom firewall servers
(including Checkpoint, Gauntlet, and assorted Open Source packages) all help to assure your network and
data are safe and sound. If you are concerned about international service, our firewall servers are offered
around the world, your users can connect to the internet with the confidence that they'll have a consistent
level of security across the globe.
